We’re looking for an ambitious, hands-on Entrepreneur in Residence (EiR) to help us discover, validate, and build new ventures from scratch. You’ll work closely with our CEO to turn early-stage ideas into validated MVPs — through customer interviews, fast iterations, and market exploration.
If you love building from zero within a thriving start-up in climate tech, this role is for you.
Key Responsibilities 🎯
- Validate new venture opportunities: You lead deep-dive market research and customer discovery to uncover pain points and white spaces
- Build and test MVPs: You move fast from hypothesis to prototype, using low-code tools, mockups, and customer feedback to validate what works
- Own pilot initiatives: You help set up and run early-stage pilots, translating insights into real-world traction and learnings
- Drive customer-facing outreach: You initiate and manage cold outreach (calls, emails, lead funnels) to generate qualitative insights and interest
- Create clarity from ambiguity: You develop clear slide decks and narratives to communicate opportunity areas internally and externally
This role is right for you if... ✨
- You think and act like a founder — grit, ownership, and speed are second nature to you
- You love talking to customers, exploring unfamiliar terrain, and turning insight into execution
- You're structured in your thinking, clear in your communication, and hands-on in your approach
- You thrive in ambiguity and see chaos as a creative opportunity
- You're motivated by solving real-world problems and making a positive impact on the climate
Skills & experience you will need 💪
- Bachelor’s degree, ideally in a field related to entrepreneurship, innovation, or tech — and a strong drive to build things that matter
- You’ve built something before — ideally a company, MVP, or product (success or failure both welcome)
- Strong analytical thinking and hypothesis testing mindset
- Solid communication skills, especially in slide decks and user interviews
- Self-starter with the ability to lead an initiative from scratch
- Fluent in German and English
- Remote Working: Work from our hubs in Hamburg or Munich, or remote from Germany
- Unlimited Vacation: Take as many holidays as you need — we trust you to recharge when it matters most.
- Flexible Working Hours: Work during the hours that align with your peak performance and lifestyle.
- Mental Health Matters: Access 1:1 psychologist sessions and workshops through our Bloom partnership.
- Professional Growth: Use a dedicated development budget to enhance your skills and career.
- Stock Option Plan: Receive virtual stocks as a reward for your trust, effort, and vision alignment.
- Unite, Recharge, Celebrate: Join in-person team retreats to connect and have fun.
- Explore Germany: Enjoy the Deutschlandticket for flexible public transportation access.
